Section 378 Cross-examination
The relationship between Shen Tong and Wei Kang, the master and apprentice, is obviously different from the filial piety between the master and apprentice between ordinary people, in addition to the awe of Wei Kang, he also has a kind of fear and vigilance suppressed in his heart, which of course comes from the fact that the two do not get along much and do not understand each other, and also from the reason why Wei Kang accepted him as an apprentice, which is to use his spiritual power to refine the elixir, and treat him as a super spirit stone that can be moved, rather than the mentality that likes his spiritual power and talent like others, or really wants to teach exercises and inherit skills。 The current state of everything is naturally due to the initial cause, and the seeds of distrust are left in the heart from the beginning.
And Shen Tong actually has a lot of knowledge about Weikang's amazing city government, so he really doesn't dare to guess his true thoughts from his expression, so he can only silently think about what he will ask, so that he can answer when the time comes. At this point, what should be revealed has been revealed, and what should not be revealed, Shen Tong finally endured it, although the process seemed a little more difficult, but it finally made him let go of the burden in his heart, but he was calmer.
Just when he was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a shock in his body, and when he looked at it intently, he had already found himself standing at the gate of the Hidden Star Temple, looking at the familiar courtyard, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't come back for a few days, and the situation had changed dramatically. Inexplicably, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile, and he suddenly thought, if Senior Brother Shi didn't go to Sifang City and watched it, what kind of reaction would he have to have when he heard him win in the big competition?
"Follow me!" Wei Kang's voice appeared in his ears at an inopportune time, and immediately dispelled all Shen Tong's thoughts, and then he looked at the back that had already walked forward, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. The time that should have come will always come, and from the moment he made up his mind to participate in the big competition, he had already thought that this day would come. Obviously, no matter for anyone, he was only a monk at the sixth level of the Qi cultivation period a few years ago, and he had not even learned the spell, but in the blink of an eye, he had reached the tenth layer, and he was able to defeat the strongest disciple in the sect, such an amazing change, in other words, anyone would probably have doubts and be surprised, but in this big comparison, he did not have any flaws in the means, but the degree of spiritual power condensation far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and this point, Shen Tong had already shown it when he did not enter the sect, which was a good statement。
In the empty Hidden Star Temple, there is still no human figure, the Hidden Star View of the original only three people, although there is an extra Miss Wei Family, but for such a large Taoist Temple, it is really like dripping a drop of water into the sea, and it will disappear without a trace in a blink of an eye. In this way, in the empty courtyard, there are only the two masters and apprentices left, which naturally seems extremely lonely and lonely, and even the footsteps of the two people are also unsettling in this silent situation.
After entering the main hall, Wei Kang sat down on the futon, and Shen Tong was not slow to react, and immediately said: "The disciple has not discussed with the master in this participation in the big competition, and the master will be punished for the crime of disrespect." ”
"You understand very well, since you know that this is disrespectful, why don't you come and tell me? Hmph, if it weren't for the visit of the same sect, I'm afraid that I, the master, wouldn't even know that my apprentice had won the quota of Dabi, and if I let others know, I would still think that I, the master, didn't care about my own apprentice!" Wei Kang snorted coldly, and said in a very calm voice.
Shen Tong couldn't help but confess: "Master, forgive me, the disciple went to Tianshu Peak this time, originally wanted to go up and learn the methods of your senior brothers, in order to prepare for the big competition in ten years, but I never thought that there would be such luck, and after advancing all the way, it was really too late." The reason why I didn't tell Master was because I thought that maybe someone would be ousted from the stage in the first game, so I didn't want to disturb Master about this trivial matter. ”
Wei Kang said: "You are quite humble! The winner of the grand competition, even a twelve-layer Great Perfection physical cultivation like Yuan Qingcheng can be defeated, such a method is actually afraid that he will be knocked off the test table in the first competition, it is too unconfident, right? I see that you are calm and calm on the test platform, quite confident, especially the method of knocking Yuan Qingcheng off the ring in the end was actually used after several hours of concealment, and finally succeeded in one fell swoop, such a scheming and the city government are not comparable to ordinary people!"
Shen Tongying said: "Master praises falsely, and the disciple really doesn't dare to be." The Earth Escape Technique was originally learned by the disciple from Uncle Shen in Wuzhen, and he had always found it difficult to master. Moreover, this method is only used in ordinary times to save lives, and there is really no opportunity and necessity to use it against the enemy, if it were not for the fact that Senior Brother Yuan insisted on knocking down his disciples from the stage with continuous offensives, I am afraid that it would be difficult to have such an opportunity. Speaking of which, although the disciple's life-saving supernatural power is not bad, but the attack spell is really lacking, especially in the face of a strong person like Senior Brother Yuan, the water archery technique has no effect at all, if it weren't for the eagerness of Senior Brother Yuan, I am afraid that the disciple would not have such a chance to be lucky. ”
Wei Kang nodded lightly, and he didn't know what he meant by such a look, but he then said: "Master Shen's Earth Escape Technique is a rather subtle spell, wrapping the whole body with earth spiritual power and blending into the mud and stones, like a fish swimming in water, moving freely, but you look too jerky when you use it, and then cast other spells after unearthing, it is inevitably a bit too wasteful of opportunities, otherwise, the first time you use the Earth Escape Technique, it will be enough to knock that Yuan Qingcheng off the battle platform, where do you need to delay until the second adventure?" If he is clever and distances later, I am afraid that the final victory or defeat is still five or five. ”
Shen Tong didn't expect Wei Kang to talk to him about magic matters, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Disciple has been taught, thank you Master for your guidance." ”
"You and I are masters and apprentices, and it is a common thing to guide your cultivation, but in the past, I was in retreat to hit the bottleneck, and you were busy with the tasks of the sect, but you gathered less and left more, if you don't understand anything in the future, just come and ask me. Wei Kang said slowly.
Shen Tong naturally saluted and said, "The disciple obeys." ”
Na Weikang's hand immediately flashed, and a small milky white jade piece appeared, and then said: " There is a secret to condensing the spell in the dantian and not sending it, you can refer to it when you have time, and use it with your earth escape technique, but it can also allow you to attack at the moment when you break through the ground, which is enough for you to seize the opportunity when fighting against the enemy, but this spell has quite a requirement for the condensation of spiritual power and the refinement of divine consciousness. ”
Shen Tong looked at Wei Kang like this, looked at the jade slip in his hand, and suddenly had a sudden feeling, for so many years, he seemed to feel what a good thing it was to have a master. It's just that this situation is very different from the usual situation where the two get along, but it makes Shen Tong excited, but he is even more uneasy in his heart, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine this cheap master has in the gourd for a while. However, no matter what, since Wei Kang deliberately instructed him in his cultivation and gave him the jade slip, where would he refuse, he immediately took the jade slip with joy, and his expression was full of joy.
At this time, Wei Kang couldn't help but say as if rather casually: "How did the corpse of that ugly Taoist be disposed of? Why don't you go to the Deacon's Pavilion to receive the reward?"
Such a casual questioning is naturally unpredictable, especially since the previous tone has always been quite calm, and there are means to guide the exercises and give secrets first, so the instinctive defense is naturally weakened a lot. Shen Tong opened his mouth to answer under such circumstances, but the mysterious old ghost snorted coldly in his mind: "Little friend, be careful!"
